Cheap Theatre for the Week of November 11th, 2014

This week’s Cheap Theatre is inspired by the power of expectation… and the power of life to throw a wrench in the best-laid plans. Things might go just as you expected, but knowing that that can change at any time is what makes life exciting! And you can get excited about paying only $25 or less to see any of the shows on this list! So what are you waiting for? Go enjoy some Cheap Theatre!
